“I went on the South Coast tour and the whole experience was absolutely beautiful. The places we visited were stunning, and the massive winds at the black sand beach were an experience in themselves — unforgettable in the best way. Unfortunately, we couldn’t visit the glacier due to the weather conditions, but safety comes first and it was completely understandable. Overall, it was a very good trip and definitely worth doing.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,489 reviews · 7 hours · from $136

“It was amazing. The canyon is so so beautiful! During the walk you go up and down. We were allowed to use the ice slide twice that was next to the path. Super fun. Despite the -20 degrees, you warm up in no time. At the BBQ you get tea or hot chocolate. In addition, a Finnish sausage with potato bread. Real cozy. The way back after the BBQ was quite tough. It’s only up, so be ready for a steep hike! We didn’t take a lot of breaks, so we went up quite fast. New record. 😮‍💨😂”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,484 reviews · 3.5 hours · from $82

From Isafjordur’s new cruise dock, ride a modern bus through mountain tunnels and coastal scenery to Dynjandi, the Westfjords’ largest waterfall. An English-speaking guide such as Camilla, Sally, or Annalise fills the drive with local stories. You get 90 minutes at the falls, enough for photos and a challenging uphill walk.

“This was a great tour. We got picked up directly in the cruise port which was perfect for us. My only complaint was that it didn’t feel like we had enough time to hike all the way up to the top like we saw some people doing. The tour guide was super knowledgable about Iceland and Isafjordur specifically which was nice. Note unrelated to the bus part: if you plan on hiking up the waterfall, it’s not for faint of heart. It was pretty tough for some people and we saw a lot of people turn around at the halfway point. It’s not accessible after a certain point so keep…”

Spend about 12 hours exploring Iceland’s South Coast with an English-speaking guide and a maximum of 15 people.

Guides such as Michal, Svenni, Roberto, and Christopher are praised for safety, weather judgment, and local stories.

“(1) Wear a hip-length jacket because you’ll be wearing a harness on the glacier hike that must be accessible in the event of a fall. Longer jackets will need to be rolled or bunched up, which isn’t comfortable. (2) don’t wear a hat with a Pom-pom because you’ll be wearing a helmet. (3) moderate fitness is needed, and you may be hiking at a brisk pace, depending on your tour guide. Falls are possible on the glacier, and safety checks of equipment were not performed. We were given an explanation of how to do something, but if I need to wear a helmet and a harness and use crampons, my…”
